Blade-O'-Grass. Golden Grain. and Bread and Cheese and Kisses is a collection of Christmas stories written by B. L. Farjeon. Farjeon was an English novelist, playwright, printer and journalist. Excerpt: "Delicate feather-flakes of snow were floating gently down over all the City. In some parts the snow fell white and pure, and so remained for many hours. In other parts, no sooner did it reach the ground than it was converted into slush—losing its purity, and becoming instantly defiled. This was its fate in Stoney-alley; yet even there, as it rested upon the roofs and eaves, it was fresh and beautiful for a time."
